In Carpal Tunnel Syndrome the median nerve is squeezed or pressed at the wrist, causing a number of painful and inconvenient symptoms including:

• Pain extending from the wrist down into the palm and fingers or radiating up the arm to the shoulder, generally along the inner or palm side of the forearm. This pain is most often felt after intense or rigorous activity of the area and repetitive use;
  
  
• Numbness or tingling of the fingers and hand, generally occurring after using the hand in a fixed position such as driving, holding a phone, and typing, and these symptoms are often ‘shaken’ out by vigorous movement of the hand and wrist;
  
  
• Inability to grip tightly, a tendency to drop objects or a sense of weakness in the hand;
  
  
• Loss of feeling in some fingers can be a symptom in advanced cases.

• Take frequent breaks especially when engaged in repetitive or vigorous activities using the hands and wrists;
  
  
• Use cold packs to reduce swelling, especially for injuries of the wrist that may cause carpal tunnel syndrome and heat packs to reduce the pain that may result;
  
  
• Wrist splints can help combat the nighttime effects of carpal tunnel syndrome as they keep the wrist in a relatively fixed position preventing irritation or pressure on the nerve or tendons;
  
  
• Medication may be used either as an anti-inflammatory or as pain relief medication depending on the severity of the symptoms;
  
  
• Surgery may be an option and has a good success rate as a treatment of severe carpal tunnel syndrome;
  
  
• Physical therapy provides an excellent non-invasive method of treating both mild and severe carpal tunnel syndrome, with some of the treatment options available including massage, joint manipulation, acupuncture and therapeutic ultrasound therapy.
  
  
  

• Deep targeted vibrations in the tendons, joints and surrounding tissue, soothing the inflamed tissue and relieving pain;
  
  
• An increase in tissue relaxation of the muscles and ligaments, allowing for an increase in the local blood flow, helping to reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation;
  
  
• The increased blood flow delivers higher levels of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, as well as removing cell waste, greatly aiding the healing process.
  
  

Ultrasound is used by many professionals such as physical therapists to reduce pain and swelling, help the recovery process and aid the healing of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Using medical grade ultrasound is proven to be a very effective way of relieving the pain and promoting the healing of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

• The sound waves deeply vibrate and massage inflamed tendons, joints and surrounding tissue which soothes inflammation and relieves pain;
  
  
• The vibrations cause the tendons and surrounding tissue to relax, which increases blood flow to the area, helping the reduction of localized swelling and chronic inflamation;
  
  
• The increased blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the plantar fascia, which greatly aids the healing process;
  
  
• Increased blood flow also allows for the body to remove cell waste and toxins from the area, which further aids the healing process.
